    Brilliant. An astonishing satire on celebrity vacuity in the 21st Century...Paris will have the last laugh. On the surface dazzlingly empty, yet full of subtle irony meaning for the more attentive, the lyrics convey something of the dense, multilayered/referential suggestion of Melvilles chapter on the "Whiteness of the Whale", or for that matter, Brett Easton Ellis.

    This is a great pop record, another Scott Storch classic. Forget the anti-Paris criticism, it's totally unjustified. This album delivers in spades. And if you don't believe me, head over to the respected AMG music site, they love it.

    Fantastic album. I don't understnad how people can criticize this album. The songs are awesome and the tunes are just great and the remake of "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy" s one of the best on the album Key Tracks: "Stars are Blind" "Turn It UP" "Do Ya Think I"m Sexy"

    If Britney Spears or Rihanna sang "Stars Are Blind", the song would've been a worldwide #1. Hilton's is a great pop record and I'm looking forward to her new music, I think she's getting judged too much for her social condition, but she's really good.

    Perfect, Star Are Blind is amazing, ela lançou um álbum leve com uma identidade bem legal, as pessoas não escutam e já julgam não acho isso bacana..

    Iconic, we can see her grow and knowing that not everything has to be with some “meaning”. Music inspires, generates different things. This album is so underrated and i love it

    This is a magnificent atemporal album in which the star, entrepreneur, actress, designer, socialité and much more Paris Hilton reaches what many artist would want in her debut album, excellence.

    Surprisingly good. I never expected it at all.. Wow. However, the amount of negative publicity it's receiving is very unfair. Don't hate the album just because it's Paris Hilton. This album is even more entertaining than Beyonce's latest album. Who would have thought Paris can do this? I highly recommend Jealousy, it's amazing.

    Plain and simple its a great pop record. And AMG gave it a very honest straightforward review. Its production and tightness and Paris' half way pleasent sounding voice just make a great record.

    omg, you're all crazy, this album is SO good. just try not to think about how it's paris hilton. if it weren't freakin paris, no one would be so mean about it. it really is fun to listen to, (except for fightin over me, that song is atrocious). and if you've never even heard the album, ust crawl into a hole, you're an idiot

    One of the best pop album released in a long time. Full of inspired, original and melodic dancing beats. Obviously there's a lot of haters out there.

    Surprise, surprise! Hotel heiress Paris Hilton CAN deliver a dancefloor-ready pop record that isn't half bad. Of course, her performance on a certain now-infamous homemade video is really what's made her such a huge feature in today's pop culture, but don't let it be said that just because she's rich she lacks talent.

Of course, her performance on a certain now-infamous homemade video is really what's made her such a huge feature in today's pop culture, but don't let it be said that just because she's rich she lacks talent. Sure, her singing abilities come off indistinctive in a soft-and-sweet baby coo, but that's not atypical from most female teen pop stars of today. And who cares that most of the album's material slides from one track mentioning how hot she is to another saying about the same thing? From the summer's biggest faux-island drink of a single "Stars Are Blind" to recent smash hit (and best song on record) that is "Nothing In This World" (which features a hilarious accompanying music video), Paris (Paris Hilton's debut's title into the music world) remains a piece of dance fluff that is as good as it is overproduced; and it is overproduced. Top producers Scott Storch and J.R. Rotem deliver awesome beats here, which is probably the biggest reason Hilton's record plays as well as it does. Nonetheless you might find yourself enjoying this despite your personal feelings toward the buxom blonde. To put it into perspective: after listening to it, you can be sure it's bad for you--and yet you still just can't get enough of it.… Expand

    dude, it is so amazing. it sounds like blondie! it sounds like the cars! it sounds like madonna but funnier and with a technically less impressive but at least w/o a stupid british accent voice! this is better than the new tv on the radio album that everyone is creaming their jeans about. and i am not kidding.

    If you had no grasp of English and no connection to pop culture, you might enjoy this CD. I found it catchy and pleasing despite being utter drivel.

    Like a silly holiday cocktail with umbrellas and sparklers, there is much to enjoy about Paris Hilton, albeit for one mad Med fortnight only.

    What's most surprising about Paris's album is that it's really not all that bad; released by any other, ahem, artist, it would likely earn better notices than recent albums by the likes of Lindsay Lohan, Hilary Duff, or Ashlee Simpson--not that that's really saying much.

    She sings like a woman who has heard of something called singing, can't be sure of exactly what it might entail, but is fairly certain you do something a bit like this. She sounds both distracted and bored stiff, as if making an album is keeping her from the more serious business of standing around a nightclub in a pair of really enormous sunglasses.
